Default SPA Yellow or Silverstone Sir ?

Over the last week I have been on a mission to pick up one of these. Friend of mine has a UK silverstone/red so as much as I like it - out of the question.

With a bit of luck I will be picking up my Spa Yellow JDM on Friday woohoo

Looked at one over the weekend and now im on a mission.

Has anyone seen one of these on the roads cos i haven't ?

Is it a jap only colour ?

I know some of you UK owners dislike the JDM's but can anyone give me any more adivce on what to look for apart from

SVA Cert
MPH derregulated and converted
Fog light
Cat 1 Alarm
hpi clear

etc etc...

I have searched the archives but would appreciate any relevant advice .

Thanks,

Spa is called Indy Yellow here - for some reason i dont recall, they are around, and a few peeps have them on the forum, they do stand out nicely. Now where's that pic of Pink Lady's rear end?

De-Restricted.

A lot of JDM import cars were restricted to 112Mph.

Steven....I stand corrected.

thought meeting the spec meant

getting the HID to pass without washers
KPH to MPH
Tyre Change
Fog light on
Cat 1
De-restrict

I assume some of this isnt for SVA - just to be passed as an insurable UK car ?
